Hardwood flooring fills the entire main level and complements the stone accents within the great room. Walls of windows allow for the wooded tiered back yard landscape to become part of the interior design.

Kitchen cabinetry, granite countertops and stone accents complete the great room, and patio doors open to one of three levels of wooden decks that overlook stone-accented walking paths, a creek, stone patio and bridge within the half-acre property.

Listed for $394,900 by Keller Williams Home Town Realty, the two-story home at 111 E. Stonequarry Road has about 3,670 square feet of living space within the three levels.

Updates to the kitchen, main-level flooring, heating and cooling system, and rear windows were made in 2017.The whole house is wired with Ethernet connections for Wi-Fi and two levels are wired for surround sound that includes six zones for the audio system.

Formal entry opens into a foyer with a living room to the left and a converted dining room to office space on the right.

Straight back is the combined family room, breakfast room and kitchen. The family room has a stone, gas fireplace with raised hearth and wood-beam mantel. The U-shaped kitchen has granite countertops, a pantry cabinet and an island that seats two and has storage. Stainless-steel appliances include a range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Off the kitchen is access to another pantry closet, a laundry room and interior entrance to the two-car garage.

An extra wide staircase with wrought-iron railing leads to the second floor where four bedrooms and two bathrooms are located. The main bedroom is above the garage and is large enough for a sitting room. There are two walk-in closets and a linen closet.

A dual-sided gas fireplace can be enjoyed from the bedroom and above the oversized whirlpool tub within the main bathroom. The bath has a double-sink vanity and a walk-in shower.

Two of the guest bedrooms have walk-in closets while the third has a step-in closet. All the bedrooms have ceiling paddle fans.

A short walkway from the great room to the office has access to a half bathroom and a door that opens to the lower level. At the bottom of the staircase is a sitting room set up as an exercise space with access to a full bathroom with tub/shower. There is access to an unfinished storage room and utilities.

A recreation room has a sink or wet bar area, media room and patio doors that open out to the middle deck level. There is a bonus room with a walk-in closet that could be a fifth bedroom.
